The Catolate dispenser is standing there, like waiting for something. Sewer Boy looks for something inside his left pocket. Pulls out a card and introduces it inside a slot found in the chest of the enormous big yellow cat. He presses a button after that.
*CLK* *TAP*
CATOLATE: Hi, little friend. You've chosen random flavor. The result is...
Sewer Boy picks the random chocolate bar the Catolate dispenser has selected.
*K-KLANK* *TUP*
CATOLATE (off): Catolate Classic. Because there's no reason to start changing now, right?
Sewer Boy raises his right arm, showing the chocolate bar like a trophy.
CROWD (off): Oooh... The Oracle has spoken.
CROWD (off): Poor guys, they got a Classic.
CATOLATE (off): Thank you for the purchase. Enjoy yo-- >>KZZT<< One moment, please...
Sewer Boy looks surprised.

This has to be one of the more surreal sequences I’ve ever seen in a webcomic. The fact that it appears to fit right in with the rest of the (non-surreal) plot only makes it more bizarre.
Glad it worked for you
You know, I’ve already seen the exact same scene in a french comic book…
Except it was a bubblegum dispenser, and they were rats, not humans.
(“Rat’s”, by Ptiluc. Or maybe it was “Pacush Blues”, by the same author. I’m afraid I don’t remember… It’s been a long time since I’ve read either!)
Never heard of that guy. And, anyway, so what?
Errr… I was only commenting about it because I thought it was funny.
I know it’s wasn’t a very interesting comment, nor a very important information, but it wasn’t supposed to be.
It was just, you know, fun stuff. For fun.
I’m sorry if you took it the wrong way.
Nah, the information was just fine. Bit ambiguous, though. That and me replying before my morning coffee.
